Honda Walking Assist Device

I’d like to talk to you today about the Honda Walking Assist Device and how this robotic product is helping many folks move from total disability to life-changing mobility. This is excellent news for those who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to a severe accident.

About Honda

Honda is the single largest producer of internal combustion engines in the world. From this innovative manufacturer also came the development of Honda garden machinery. In 2015, Honda rolled out the development of robotics products with proven powerful tools designed for human assistance.

Robotic Device Can Assist Those With Amputation Injuries

Honda’s robotic device is used for walking rehabilitation under the supervision of your doctor and/or therapist. It’s based on what is called the inverted pendulum model. It’s a theory of bipedal walking equipped with two motors that help lift the leg in the area of the thigh as it moves backward and forward. This extends the user’s stride and assists them to walk faster and further. Learn more about this innovative device redefining how we view leg prostheses.

Device Creates Visualizations Graphics 

Honda’s Walking Assist Device measures your walking patterns and training sessions on an automated tablet. This gives visualization graphics to assist your medical professionals. The device features a belt-like design, which makes it easier for users to put it on and off. It has adjustable frames, so it can fit anyone.

Walking Assist Device Boasts 3 Training Modes

  • Following Mode – Honda’s Walking Assist Device mimics the user’s own walking motions based on his or her own walking patterns;
  • Symmetric Mode – Considering the walking patterns of the person using the device, Honda’s Walking Assist Device powers the user to achieve symmetric motions bilaterally, such as extending and bending both legs.
  • Step Mode – Honda’s Walking Assist Device helps the user’s steps repeatedly recover the rocker functions, which makes for smooth weight shifting.

Honda’s Walking Assist Device went into the development stage in 1999. Since 2013, at least 50 medical facilities throughout Japan have helped test the device. A limited number of devices have been tried and tested, helping Honda refine the excellent device over the years. Now, the product is available for those residing in the United States.

Take a moment to read about the uplifting stories of courage and victory as people who were once disabled find themselves in a whole new frame of mobility thanks to these robotics products by Honda.
